Roosevelt PTO and Volunteers,

Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication in making the Snowflake Ball such a wonderful event this past weekend. Everything—from the planning to the execution—was truly amazing.

It was clear how much time, effort, and care went into every detail, and it absolutely paid off. The kids had a fantastic time, and the joy and excitement on their faces said it all. Events like this create such special memories for our school community, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make it happen.

Thank you again for your commitment, energy, and generosity. Roosevelt is so lucky to have such an outstanding PTO and group of volunteers.

🚓❤️ Today in McDonald, we’re showing BIG appreciation for our amazing police officers! Our kids surprised them with Chick-fil-A for lunch to say THANK YOU for all they do to keep our community safe. We appreciate each and every one of you! #PoliceOfficerAppreciationDay #ThankYouOfficers

January is School Board Recognition Month, and we want to extend a sincere thank you to the McDonald School Board for their leadership, time, and dedication to our students, staff, and community.

We are grateful for the service of Donna Shields, Jessica Krumpak, Nick Gallo, Kristina Merola, and Michael Morris. Your commitment helps guide our district forward and supports the success of every Blue Devil. 💙
